I wonder which is the safest method to leave a machine, init 1 or powered off. any comments?

Many years ago I used to run a Dec VAX computer, and it was running 24/7, except that over the Xmas breaks, the insurance company insisted that the machines were all shut down - as there would be no one on site. Early January was a problem for Dec engineers - going round replacing the power supplies of the machines that did not start again :) I have a UPS on each machine and leave them on, not had a problem with power supplies in a long time ;) -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
